14 reasons why Robert Sugden is the best boyfriend ever
By Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.uk
There’s a reason why Robron is pretty much THE most popular relationship in soap right now.
The passion, the bond and the love between Aaron Livesy and Robert Sugden is second to none and, after everything they have been through, they are set for a reunion and will finally make it to the dizzying heights of being an official Emmerdale couple.
And we reckon that Aaron could find no better way to be happy than giving his heart up to Robert.
Despite his many flaws, there really is no-one who’d make better boyfriend material in a village of slim pickings (let’s face it, Cain has anger issues, Paddy’s a cheat, Jai’s a sociopath…) than Robert.
Here's why we would snap him up in an instant.
1. He’d do anything for you
Who cares about the little matter of the law? Robert is currently paying someone to lie to the police in order to help Aaron – while it isn’t the best approach to the matter, his heart is in the right place.
If someone upset you, he’d bury them in some grain for you and if you need rid of someone no questions asked, then he has a handy assassin app on his phone.
2. He has loads of contacts
Yep, he won’t just protect you with assassins. If you need to find someone you haven’t seen for a while or have lost your car keys, he has plenty of moles waiting to do some digging. And, if the mood carries you, he even has a rent boy or two on the books willing to exploit the vulnerable or naive.
3. He is a snappy dresser
From his jackets to his jumpers, this man has style…
4. In fact, just look at him in his entirety
You wouldn’t kick him out of a hay barn would you?
5. He’s good at keeping secrets
If you really don’t want someone to find something out, feel free to confide in your bae Robert. When he keeps things quiet, he will go to any lengths – such as covering up a death by rotting floorboard for example – to keep it under wraps.
6. He’s exciting
Life is never dull when Robert Sugden around. You just never know when you will be spending the night in a hotel room or the hospital after witnessing him being shot by one of his many enemies.
7. He’s kinky
Remember when Robert tied Aaron up in a lodge? Think of the bondage and role play opportunities. Please just make sure there is a safe word. Robert can take things a bit far when there is a gun involved and a hapless vet accidentally interrupts.
8. He is good with business
He can run a massive estate and a scrapyard while juggling the most explosive personal life in the world. Robert will keep you financially steady and, even when he is down and out, he will always find a way to blackmail his way right up again.
9. He’s good with kids
Whether it’s trying to fake deaths with Lachlan or getting punched in the crown jewels by Liv, Robert will keep any offspring you might have entertained.
10. He will get you out of awkward family meals
Parents of his partners never seem to like him to there’s always an excuse to give Sunday lunch a swerve – you won’t be invited.
11. He takes things slow
Even at your most vulnerable, if Robert cares about you, he will not take advantage of you as proven when Aaron tried to kiss him recently. He will not leave you feeling embarrassed or rejected either as he will assure you that he does want you – just when the time is right.
12. He genuinely cares
No matter what mistakes he makes in the past, Robert is capable of loving. It might not always be obvious (and, let’s be honest, would we really want to lose that edge that he has?) but if you work at things with him, then it pays off. When Robert finally gives his heart to you, no-one will love you more.
13. He will change for you
If you are his one, you are so important that he will mend his ways and spend all the time it takes proving that he is a reformed man. That’s not just persistence, that’s love.
14. Oh, and he will kiss you like this:
"Aaron and Robert - THE KISSES (1)"

Fans of Robert and Aaron's Dales romance will be thrilled to learn that true love really does conquer all! New Dales boss Iain MacLeod has promised that the smitten fellas will finally become an item...
"I really want 'Robron' to have a happy ending - and to my immense joy, it's going to happen!" he says. "Obviously Robert is a complicated character and Aaron has a complicated story, but I want to put them together and see what happens. They haven't been a proper couple yet."
That's not to say that there won't be a few bumps along the road, though...
"Their relationship will have more ups and downs, and the pay-off to the Gordon story will play a big part in what happens next for the pair," explains Iain. "Also, Aaron's sister, Liv, is going to challenge them. She and Robert don't get on, and will compete for Aaron's affections!"

There was a heart-stopping moment in Thursday night's Emmerdale episodes, when Aaron Livesy told Robert Sugden they should just stay friends.
© ITV
Aaron tells Robert they should just stay mates for now
Things have been getting complicated between the pair, ever since Robert jeopardised his whole future with Aaron after his plan to engineer a false sex abuse allegation against Gordon unravelled recently.
Tonight's episode saw Aaron convince false accuser Ryan to withdraw his claims, before telling Robert they should be mates.
Aaron told Robert: "The other day you were right to keep your distance. After everything we've had thrown at us, I guess we should take the hint we're not good for each other.
"All I need for us right now is for us to be mates."
It's another obstacle for Robron fans, who'll be hoping their reunion isn't far away.

When a new abuse victim came forward in Friday’s episode (26 Feb) of Emmerdale it looked like Aaron’s worries about Gordon being convicted were over.
But unfortunately for Aaron, the ‘victim’ Ryan was paid by none other than Robert to come forward and give a false statement!
But why would Robert risk Aaron’s case?
Actor Ryan Hawley, who plays the character of Robert, explains to STV: “I don’t think he’d do it if he thought it would destroy Aaron’s case, he just wants what’s best for Aaron... setting up a false victim has risks, and Robert could go to jail for doing that."
But why would he go to such lengths for Aaron? We know the pair have a complicated past, and by Ryan’s admission Robert “twists or manipulates or bribes - anything he can do to get what he wants."
So is all this just his way of getting what he wants? Ryan disagrees.
"At the moment the relationship is very much about Robert supporting him and being there for him, which I think is really nice, because we’re seeing a different side of Robert.
“I think he’s facing the fact that he loves him, and he’s admitted that... I think he really does want to be with Aaron."
It doesn’t seem likely that there’s going to be a happy future for ‘Robron’, as fans have termed the couple , with Ryan explaining that in soapland “there needs to be ups and downs."
But he added: "We really enjoy working with each other and we have chemistry so I really hope there’s a long future for the relationship."

Emmerdale: Ryan Hawley and Danny Miller discuss Robron future – including a potential wedding.
It’s one of the most popular soap relationships of recent times and fans are practically aching for that long awaited reunion of Robert Sugden and Aaron Livesy aka Robron.
And now, with Robert having proven himself as someone who genuinely loves his tortured soulmate, there has been a massive shift and a happy future looks more possible than it ever did before.
With a Robron reunion just over that very close horizon, Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley joined us for a catch up to reflect on the couple’s journey so far and, more importantly, to tease what the future could hold?
What’s that we hear? Wedding bells? Apparently, it may be possible…
So is Robron back on?
Ryan: You’ll have to wait and see. I’m not going to give anything away – unless Danny wants to?
Danny: Their relationship is very popular with fans – so we’ve been told – so I don’t know if they’re going to be happy forever but it’s certainly a big step. Aaron allowing it for a start shows there may be light at the end of the tunnel.
Is Aaron over the fact Robert nearly killed Paddy?
Danny: He knows people make mistakes – maybe not that big – but in his own selfish way he wants Robert to be the one he loves and wants to block out what’s happened and start again. He knew Robert was in a dark place when it happened and was someone he didn’t really want to be. I think a lot of it was him struggling with his own sexuality and a marriage he didn’t want to be in. It’s not an excuse but a catalyst to why he was making stupid mistakes.
Ryan: And also, Aaron has been able to see what Robert’s really like when they’re alone. Robert is himself and he doesn’t have to put on an act. Aaron can see there is good in him, which makes it easier for him to give Robert another chance.
Aaron can look past Robert’s past mistakes but can Chas?
Danny: That’s a different ball game with Chas. She’s very strong minded. She wants to give Aaron whatever he wants to be happy. If he feels Robert is the person he needs to get through this I don’t think Chas is going to argue with him at this time. I think she’ll probably always have those reservations about Robert but it’s something that I think time will tell. If Aaron wants to make a go of it with Robert, she’ll have to get on with him otherwise she’ll have lost him again.
What about Paddy, will he be won over or did he go too far shooting him?!
Danny: Paddy will always have that undying hatred for him shooting him…and the grain pit! He might need to do a little bit more making up with Robert. As time moves on you move on, we’ll see. Especially now taking it away from the character Robert used to be and seeing the support he’s single-handedly shown Aaron, he’s been that rock. There’s room for some forgiveness, there’s remorse there clearly. So I just hope the viewers can kind of give Robert the chance to earn back the love again. I think he will through this, watching how Ryan’s played it.
Is it gratifying for you both to play such an immense story? Its been a long road…
Danny: It has. Ryan has been here 18 months now so its crazy how fast it’s gone. I could never imagine anyone else playing Robert now. He’s done a great job with the character and I’ve enjoyed watching us develop. As corny as it sounds, the relationship between us has come on – not just with Robert and Aaron.
Ryan: I’ve been very lucky that I was paired with Danny because not only is he a great actor but I’ve learnt so much from him. It has been a gift for me to work with him and the fact we get on as well makes it easier and a lot more fun.
Could you see Aaron and Robert getting married?
Danny: Married? Oh, I don’t know. Maybe but I reckon he’d want to do it in Vegas where no one was watching. I’m not trying to get a spin off [laughs]. I think he’d be embarrassed by the whole wedding thing. They want to be together, though.
Ryan: In a continuing drama there can’t be a happy ending as such, can there? So if anyone is hoping for that I don’t think it will be the case…
Has Iain MacLeod [show producer] made changes to the storyline?
Danny: A new producer’s going to want to add his twists and turns but Iain thought very highly of the storyline and has left it kind of how it was until Kate [Oates]’s stuff ran out and he took it on. So I’m not aware of anything that’s been changed. I think it’s a credit to Kate and Iain who’ve stuck by it.
How does Robert feel about Chrissie and Andy being together?
He’s quite shocked. Robert’s jealous and bitter about a lot of things – especially Andy, his adoptive brother who he felt his dad loved more than him. So it is another dig at Robert. It brings out a nasty side. He’s certainly not happy about it.

Thursday's double bill ended on a heartwarming note for Robert Sugden and Aaron Livesy as they finally got back together, sealing their reunion with a tender kiss.
It was the moment that 'Robron' fans have been waiting impatiently for, but what's next for the show's popular pairing? Digital Spy caught up with Ryan Hawley, who plays Robert, to hear some teasers.
Are you pleased that 'Robron' are finally back together?
"Definitely - it's great. Me and Danny [Miller, who plays Aaron] love working together, so it's nice that we get to spend more time on set and play off each other now. It seems to be something that a portion of the viewers are interested in, too, so it's great for everyone."
The writers definitely kept the 'Robron' fans waiting for this big moment, though!
"I guess in any drama it's nice to see the struggle and the tension that builds up to two characters becoming a couple. It's good to see that play out, rather than getting two characters together in a heartbeat.
"There's a lot that Robert and Aaron have had to overcome in their relationship and trust that had to be rebuilt. I think the storyline we've had recently has allowed for that."
Can a guy like Robert really be a good boyfriend to Aaron?
"I'm sure there'll be ups and downs and it'll be a rocky road. But from what I've seen in the scripts, it seems that Robert does really care about Aaron and wants to be there for him. So it appears that they could be good together.
"Perhaps the unseen story is Robert's relationship with Chrissie - maybe he was like this in some degree with her. Then we saw how that panned out with Robert having an extramarital affair! So we'll just have to see what happens in the future. But I'm sure there's a bright future for Aaron and Robert."
Is it important to you that Robert keeps his ruthless edge?
"I think it's always interesting to have a character that's on the edge and can be a bit unpredictable. Robert has those dimensions to him where he is a loving and caring person, but he also has a moral elasticity. There's still always the chance that he may justify it in his own mind and go and do some evil deed!
"I think it's always more interesting when a character is complex like that. So I hope he stays rounded."
It sounds like Liv could be a big obstacle in the way for 'Robron'...
"Yes, some of the stuff that we've been filming recently has shown that tension. Liv comes in between Robert and Aaron and causes friction. It's wonderful to work with Izzy, who plays Liv. She's a great little actress and we're very blessed to have her here. Her character is throwing a spanner in the works for 'Robron', so maybe we might even have a Roblivion!"
Did you ever expect the 'Robron' story to develop such a following?
"No, I've always just been a hit and hope kind of guy! I just see what happens, but thankfully there seems to be a lot of support for this relationship and it's impossible to ignore. There are even people wearing T-shirts with 'Robron' on - it's quite something else!
"I've never been involved in anything like this. It's incredible that people care so much about what me and Danny do - and also about our show."
You're not on Twitter, but do you ever take a sneaky look online to see what fans are saying?
"I do get shown things from time to time! Recently a big gang of fans turned up at the studios to show their support and ask for autographs. They also gave us a book which was full of messages, which we've actually kept in the studio.
"Me and Danny share a dressing room wall together, so we put all our bits of support up that people send in. The book had all of their comments from their Google chatroom. So I had a flick through that and they were very complimentary and supportive - it was really amazing."
How's it been working with a new producer now that Iain MacLeod has taken over from Kate Oates at Emmerdale?
"It's my first experience of going through that change. Kate brought me into the show, so I have a great deal of gratitude towards her. She put a lot of faith and trust in me and gave me some great storylines. Luckily that seems to be continuing under Iain's reign. We've got some nice scenes and some nice stories coming up, so it seems to be going great."
How does the fast-paced soap world compare to your previous work?
"I think the best thing about it is that you're here every day and you feel like you're a family. We're all so familiar with each other, so it's a huge comfort to have that environment to be productive and creative in. Everyone is so encouraging.
"When you turn up on another TV job where you may only have a few days to film, it's really hard to find your place and it can be quite intimidating. I can't speak highly enough of it and I really enjoy working in this environment."
We imagine you're rooting for Danny to win Best Actor at the Soap Awards...
"I've got my fingers crossed and he certainly gets my vote! I really hope he gets recognition for the work he's done. I'm sure he'll have a lot of support from the fans, who have been fantastic so far with their support towards our on-screen relationship and will be voting for him."
Maybe 'Robron' could stand a chance at the Best On-Screen Partnership prize too?
"That'd be fantastic, wouldn't it? It'd also be a lovely chance to show our support back to the fans if we were nominated for or won something like that. We'll see what happens!"
